Factors/Multiples

"Factors" are the numbers you multiply to get another number. For instance, the factors of 15 are 3 and 5, because 3×5 = 15

Factors-the multiplication facts that give you the value you are looking for. Every number has 1 and itself as a factor.

Example 1 : The factors of 10, are: 1 and 10

2 and 5

The factors of 10 are 1,2,5, and 10

Example 2 : Factors of 25 are: 1 and 25

5 and 5, ( but you only use 5 once)

The factors of 25 are 1, 5, 25

Multiplies- you need to multiply the number as many times as the question asks.

Example-What are the first 4 multiples of 2

2x1=2

2x2=4

2x3=6

2x4=8

The first four multiples of 2 are 2, 4, 6, and 8

What is the first 6 multiples of 6?

6x1=6

6x2=12

6x3=18

6x4=24

6x5=30

6x6=36

so the first 6 multiples of 6 are: 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 26
